All elements are supplied full ready for installation, so the assembly does not take much time. Any element can eventually be replaced by another necessary element. There is no need to disassemble the entire system. - Design Challenge
- Wood is a universal and familiar material that never goes out of fashion. The diversity of the nature of the wood itself gives us a reason for new ideas and inspiration.
- Research
- We made several ergonomic tests to find the ideal height for all elements. The goal was to create a convenient system of elements without the need for additional devices to use it. Results: we hang the lower elements at a height of 100 mm from the floor for easy cleaning of the room. We install clothes rod at 2 heights to place clothes of different lengths. We install the highest hanger at a height of 2240 mm from the floor, which can be easily used by a person of average height. From the top shelf to the ceiling there is a place to store boxes, even if the ceiling is not higher than 2500 mm.
- Inspiration

The wardrobe is one of those places in the house where an active day begins and where it ends.
This is the space in the house that connects us with the outside world: if we choosing an outfit for new achievements are immersed in home comfort and tranquility.
It doesn't matter if the storage system is located in a separate room or is a part of a living space - it should be beautiful. We went further and created a system that can work for any kind of room of the house (bedroom, livingroom, entrance hall, playroom and even kitchen). - Project Duration
